Shortly after rumors began to circulate online, The Last of Us 2 director Neil Druckmann came forth and announced the delay. Considering its February 21 release date was just announced last month, this may have left a bad taste in some mouths, but Druckmann promises that it will be worth the wait and explains that the team just needed more time to ensure that it hit "Naughty Dog Quality." The Last of Us 2 will now release on May 29, 2020, which is just a small three month w

Ghost of Tsushima does share some DNA with Sly Cooper’s stealth sections. Jin can attack enemies outright or stalk them from the shadows and stealthily take them out. While this is out of character for a samurai, Sucker Punch did confirm that the narrative motivates the use of stealth. All of Jin’s samurai allies were killed fighting like samurai. To beat back the Mongols, Jin needs to vary up his tactics, even if it goes against everything he knows.

From a gameplay perspective, Ghost of Tsushima is a departure from the Infamous franchise. While those games were all about continuously moving around the battlefield, Ghost of Tsushima is more about studying enemy movement, parrying and attacking when finding an opening. Melee combat becomes more nuanced when fighting 1v1, as shown in the final fight with his fallen comrade, Masako. Sucker Punch commented that they’re pulling heavily from Japanese cinema like Yojimbo for the combat. Unfortunately, the HUD was turned making it difficult to determine how exactly the game plays. When confronted, Sucker Punch didn’t explicitly compare combat to any other game on the market but did admit it has elements similar to the Batman Arkham and Middle-earth games.

Superliminal is some trippy indie game about magic or something. It's very reminiscent of The Stanley Parable . We didn't really get enough of a teaser to figure everything out, but it was exactly long enough to conjure up memories of a Simpsons s

E3 stayed true to its name in 2018, delivering information at a rate overwhelming to even the most seasoned video game consumers. Amid the barrage of announcements, demos, and trailers, perhaps the most compelling developments came in the form of in-engine gameplay footage, which developers were particularly generous about this year. Gameplay footage is precious because it's a game's most honest representation. Plus, often-times it reveals new information about a game. That being said, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the cacophony. So as the dust settles, let's run through the 5 best gameplay trailers from E3 2018 , in no particular or

PlayStation’s focus on a handful of games for E3 2018 was well-known weeks before they held their press conference. With rumors swirling about a potential PlayStation 5 on the horizon, it was apparent that the platform holder would focus on its current crop of announced titles. The Last of Us Part II and Spider-Man are proven winners, and Death Standing continued to intrigue. Ghost of Tsushima, however, was perhaps the most interesting title. A far cry from Sucker Punch’s previous work, Ghost of Tsushima made its presence known at the show and stunned in its debut.

The story is surprisingly detailed for the era and uses cutscenes to great effect. Where the game really shines, however, is through its solid combat mechanics and its use of stealth mechanics which provide players with multiple ways of approaching each mission. There are plenty of unlockables, too, making it a highly replayable game for those who can look past its dated visu
